Queerya Stories

After the girl she loved drowns in a frozen lake, Wren Avery stops speaking. Sixty-eight days of silence. Sixty-eight days of drawing Lena's face into every page of her sketchbook. Sixty-eight days of pretending her heart isn't unraveling at the seams. When a quiet new girl named June sits beside her in class, Wren doesn't expect anything to change. June doesn't ask questions. Doesn't try to fix her. She just... stays. And sometimes, staying is enough to remind you how to keep living. Told in short, poetic chapters - The Quiet Between Heartbeats is a story about grief, memory, first love, and the courage to begin again.

Jace Carson isn't sure what he wants-but it's definitely not to spend his summer lifeguarding with Eliot Hart, the quiet, awkward boy who's everything Jace's world tells him not to be. But the longer they work together, the harder it gets to ignore the way Eliot makes him feel. Eliot's been hurt before and isn't quick to trust. Jace isn't out, isn't sure, and can't stop falling anyway. Bittersweet, tender, and slow-burning, The Summer Between is a story of first love, self-discovery, and the quiet moments that change everything.
